Validation

With some effort and only a few surprises I was able to get my web pages validated as conformant HTML 4.0. I wrote a short article about the process of getting validated in my somewhat defunct web project area.

Always lock your bike

My bike was stolen on the day before Good Friday (9 April 1998). Normally I religiously bolted my bike to something whenever I left it. I  nevertheless talked myself into thinking it would be relatively safe, stuck under the stairs in the foyer of the office building I work at. This is a classic case of security being undermined by because a small inconvenience experienced daily seems like a big inconvenience after a while. Fellow cyclists, learn from my misfortune!
